My partner and I are struggling with infertility, how do we choose a specialist who can help us?
There are a few things to consider when choosing a fertility doctor or specialist:
- Recommendation: You might get a recommendation from a friend, family member or trusted doctor.
- Comfortability: It is important that you feel comfortable with your fertility doctor, as you will have many personal questions and topics to discuss with him or her. Set up an initial consultation - that both you and your partner are able to attend - to determine your level of comfortability with your prospective doctor.
- Accessibility: Find out how easily you will be able to get your questions answered when you have them in between scheduled appointments.
- Insurance/Payment: If your insurance covers infertility treatment, then make sure that it further covers the practice you are looking into. If your insurance will not cover your treatments, make sure you understand the clinic’s billing process.
- Qualifications: Make sure that your infertility specialist is board certified in both OB/GYN as well as in Reproductive Endocrinology
